As is the ritual of someone celebrating a birthday in this household, the honoree gets to decide what they would like to do for the day. Unfortunately, Caroline is stuck mostly with going to school, so that generally leaves dictating what she would like to do for dinner. (This year she chose her favorite meal prepared by her favorite chef - Chicken Alfredo and Caesar salad prepared by me!) Reid has a little more free will in his decision, though we are most often at the lake. He specifically asked that we not be at the lake this year, so we obliged. (We leave tomorrow.) And today, he wanted to go to Six Flags. We did, and we had one of the best times ever for this family!
We purchased the Flash Pass which allowed us to reserve a place at the head of the line. The most time we spent waiting on a ride was about 15 minutes! We would get off a ride and go straight back to ride it again. The children were amazed that their mom was riding ALL of the roller coasters and more than once! Reid figures that all together we were on a ride 26 times!
I think it must have been the beautiful weather and the awesome behaviors of my children that propelled me into the seats of those roller coasters and 200 foot Acrophobia ride because I have NEVER found myself so freely-willing to participate in so many thrilling and exhilarating rides. It truly was a day that we will forever treasure, and below you, too, can relive it through my photos and video.
